When water won't enter, the dishwasher waits and may show an error or water-cut warning. Always start at the tap.
Possible causes
- Tap closed or low pressure
- Blocked inlet hose filter
- Kinked hose behind a built-in unit
- Failed inlet valve
- Anti-flood triggered by water in the base
Safe first checks you can do
Safety: unplug the appliance and close the water tap before any check, and never open the outer casing or electronic boards yourself.
- Open the tap fully
- Clean the inlet hose mesh
- Make sure the hose is straight

When do you need a technician?
If water is available and the filter clean but it still won't fill, the valve or anti-flood system needs checking.
Frequently asked questions
What is anti-flood protection?
It stops water entry and runs the drain if it detects water in the base — usually a sign of an internal leak.
